"AI的终点是能源，能源的终点是聚变。" 当ChatGPT、Sora以及各种万亿参数的大模型将人类推向通用人工 智能（AGI）的新纪元时，一个冷峻的现实摆在所有人面前：算力的尽头是电力。 英伟达创始人黄仁勋与 OpenAI首席执行官奥特曼曾多次公开表达对未来能源供应的焦虑。 当能源成为制约智能时代的"硬天花板"，中国却在这场决定未来的终极能源竞赛中，以前所未有的战略前 瞻，将聚变能源确立为国家顶层设计的核心方向。2025年年底，"十五五"建议全文正式发布，核聚变能首次 被正式写入国家五年规划，并与量子科技、脑机接口一同被列为国家战略性未来产业。这标志着核聚变已 从"科学实验阶段"正式跨入"国家产业布局阶段"。 一场关乎人类文明终极能源的"奥林匹克竞赛"，正在中国大地上全产业链加速爆发。 一、范式跃迁：核聚变何以成为"万亿赛道"之首？ 核聚变能成为全球瞩目的"万亿赛道"之首，源于一场由能源潜力、技术突破、AI需求与资本涌入共同驱动的 深刻范式跃迁。这四大支柱正合力将核聚变从"永远需要50年"的远景，加速推至产业爆发的前夜。 1.能源潜力：物理层面的降维打击 从能源属性本身看，核聚变几乎完美契合人类对终极能源的全 ...

随着美国加大对国内化石燃料的投入，中国继续在全球范围内扩大其影响力。去年，中国新能源汽车出 口额突破696亿美元创下新纪录，覆盖超过150个国家和地区。 "我们正从一个以石油为动力的世界转向一个成本更低的、以太阳能为动力的世界。"布拉德舍说，"实 际上，其他国家都在越来越多地从中国购买电力，因为中国在太阳能电池板方面几乎处于无可动摇的领 军地位。在许多发展中国家，这正是人们现在最想要购买的，因为这是比其他任何方式都更便宜的电力 来源。" 为了了解中国在清洁能源技术方面的发展速度，我联系了驻北京的同事基思·布拉德舍（《纽约时报》 北京分社社长——编者注）。他告诉我："在清洁能源技术方面，中国远远领先于世界其他国家。这不 仅体现在大量安装可再生能源和采用新交通技术方面，还体现在取得的研究突破上。" 北京与华盛顿之间的反差极为鲜明。几十年来，中国政府始终坚定支持本国清洁能源技术发展。相比之 下，美国的政策却始终摇摆不定、前后不一。就在中国加速向清洁能源转型之际，美国政府却在不断寻 找新的方法来惩罚可再生能源，同时推广煤炭、石油和天然气等化石燃料。 "美国真的在背弃许多21世纪的能源和交通技术。"布拉德舍告诉我。再加 ...

微软正将目光投向高温超导技术，以破解人工智能算力扩张带来的数据中心供电瓶颈。该企业近日在官方博客中披露，正评估将高温超导电缆引入数据中心 供电体系，这项以"零电阻"传输电能的成熟技术，如今在经济性与制造层面已具备超大规模场景落地潜力。 这一布局使微软数据中心在电力、网络与热管理三大战略方向形成完整创新拼图。此前该企业已在空心光纤与微流体冷却技术上取得进展，高温超导的加入 补齐了电力传输环节的关键短板。 成本仍是超导电缆大规模应用的核心障碍。高温超导带材通常采用稀土钡铜氧化物制备，材料与制程成本高昂。同时运行过程中需液氮持续冷却，增加系统 复杂度。然而这一瓶颈正因人工智能与核聚变产业的交汇而出现转机。 传统数据中心及绝大多数能源基建至今仍依赖铜导线。电流通过铜线时每一步都会遭遇电阻，不仅产生热量、限制传输容量，还推高冷却负担。高温超导电 缆则完全不同：在液氮冷却至极低温的环境下，电流实现零电阻流动，不发热、无电压衰减，且体积与重量较同等传输能力的铜缆可缩小约十倍。 微软全球基础设施营销总经理表示，主要在两类场景推动高温超导技术落地。在数据中心内部，更纤细的电力排线可极大提升机架布局灵活度，打破当前供 电布局对算 ...
